    Morning everyone. Jazzie is at home now thank goodness, can't stand another night in that hospital. I've just signed up for private health insurance for the family so if there is a next time it will all be a little more uncomfortable.

    Sammy, do you know what flavour either of these babies are yet? I've decided I spend way too much on baby clothes. Ok, it's all sale stuff but I just spent another £150 on baby clothes in today's M&S sale. All lily has is next, debenhams and M&S, she looks so cute in it but she keeps growing which is really annoying :) I need to go and freeze all of my cards I think.

    Glad to hear she's getting better Toto!! That was pretty scary for a while :o

    If you do need to fatten her up again custard is soooo the way forward :D

    Custard it is, she is like a rake, i can see pretty much every bone in her body. Just weighed her and she is 5 stone 3 :eek: She is eating again now but only small amounts. She's drinking chocolate milk almost all day at 300 calories a bottle so hopefully it won't be long before she fills out a bit.

    Glad she is back, Toto.

    Interview went well, they offered me the job and I took it. I think both me and the manager guy know that I'm not in it for the long term, he actually said 'I know you have other goals in life, you've been very honest about that, but you have great people skills and I think you will do well'

    It will do me for now at the very least until HRMC get off their bums and give me a ruddy start date.

    Well done BR - you might love it and stay forever but if not, at least it pays the bills for now.

    Toto - so glad Jasmines home, the weight will creep back on as she starts eating properly...must be a huge weight of your mind.

    Why is it that the simple jobs always turn out to be the most annoyingly fustrating? I tried to take apart a shelf unit, got a lovely electric screwdriver with allen key attachments to do the job....undid all but one screw and the allen key "bit" got stuck in the screw....no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get it out...I tried pliers...nope....so in desperation I left it in soak in some WD40...10 mins later - it slid out....now I've got to clean up the WD40 and put all the pliers and other stuff away....It shouldn't be so hard!!! :rolleyes:
